what's a good tire for under $100 a pop for 16"? I was thinking either Ecsta 712 (awesome price) or parada spec2. anybody wanna gimme good suggestion? these tires will mostly be just for daily driving, not too much racing.

 

Falken Azenis are very inexpensive. Lots of grip for the money.

 

dunlop fm901 in 16in= $75

so3 pole positions
tirerack has them for 123 a piece
thats about 40 bux cheaper a tire than anywhere else i looked

 

dunlop fm 901 sucks
bridgestone so-3 VERY ******* GOOD. can i say that?
bridgestone re 730 average price, good tire wear
yokohama avs es100 sounds good. havent tried them, yet

 

stay away from the damn kumhos. please, stay away from those damn things.. they don't grip for ****, and they make so much noise it's embarassing.

 

for daily driving, bridgestone s03 rock. Excellent dry weather grip and pretty good wet traction. But pretty expensive for 16's

 

Yokohama AVS ES100.

 

on the azenis, will 205/55 rub? or even the 215/45 ok? i'm not riding on stock suspension. these are for 16" too. i'm interested in decent tread wear too and i know azenis have ok tread wear.

 

if you're going to do some racing and nothing too serious, actually (i'll probably get flamed) the kumho is a good bargain with good tread life. i've actually raced on these and i was very unhappy with their overly mushy sidewalls--but it's great for the street.

but if you're going to do some racing and you want to have fun, i think the azenis would be a better buy. just my opinions... good luck.

 

The new Kumho Ecsta V700 has a very stiff sidewall. Different from the 712. $110 for 205/50/15 (no rubbing).

 

he asked for 16in tires not 15in
